4.0 out of 5 stars NOFX's Greatest Songs Ever Written, 2004 Epitaph Records, June 8, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Greatest Songs Ever Written (By Us) (Audio CD)

First off, I'd like to start by saying, NOFX is one of my all-time favorite bands ever. They are a very good So-Cal punk band. They have many very good, catchy songs. This compilation is a greatest hits album spanning their 21 year career. I do think they left off some key hits, and some of the songs on the compilation would have been better replaced with some of these songs, but overall it is a pretty good collection. I love every song on it. Some of the songs that should have been on that aren't are:

The Brews
Six Pack Girls
Monosyllabic Girl
The Pharmacist's Daughter
Freedom Like a Shopping Cart
Irrationality of Reality
Mr. Jones
Where's My Slice?

and more....


My personal favorites on the album:

Dinosaurs Will Die
Don't Call Me White
Linoleum
Bottles to the Ground
Reeko
Shut Up Already
Franco Unamerican
180 Degrees


Since these songs are all already released, there is no point in reviewing every single one of these songs, so I will just review the extra, unreleased track 'wore out the soles of my party boots'.



Wore Out the Soles of My Party Boots- a great, catchy humorous song about becoming old in punk rock. i like it alot. deffinately deserves 5/5.




If you're a big nofx song, you probably don't need to bother buying this. Do what I did and just download the bonus track off if I-Tunes, it's only a buck, and its really better than paying 10-15 bucks for the cd and only getting one song you dont have. yet, if you're a new fan just getting into nofx, this is a good place to start. otherwise, just buy all the albums, they all are awesome. long live nofx!

4.0 out of 5 stars 14 Albums, 16 EP's And Numerous Complilations..., November 25, 2004

There are `Greatest Hits' and `Best Of' albums everywhere you look at the moment - not surprisingly just in time for Christmas. But I have to say, I was not expecting one from punk legends NOFX. A band who make no secret of their disdain for the music industry and its money-grubbing ways. So it is with a certain level of irony that Fat Mike and the band have put together a `Best Of' package with one previously unreleased song (a common major label ploy to assure purchases). Politics aside, NOFX have been one of the best, if not funniest punk bands (album titles include `S&M Airlines', `Punk In Drublic', `I Heard They Suck Live' etc) of the last twenty years and this collection is a great introduction if you happened to have missed them. For the long-time fans, not everyone will be happy. But how the hell were they going to please the masses? 14 albums, 16 EP's and numerous compilations - all with songs at an average of 2 minutes - that is a lot of tracks to choose from. I think they got pretty close (`The Malachi Crunch' being the only glaring omission in this reviewers eyes), and it would be a worthwhile addition to any CD rack. 27 songs, 62 minutes, under 12 dollars = Ridiculously Good Value.

This CD rocks and I found out about this from Tony Hawk's Underground and the best track is Separation of Church and Skate. This is a absolutely awesome CD!
